Application flied December 11, 1906. Serial No. 847,268;

To all ibhom it may COILCMJ'IL.

Be it known that I, WiLiiELM Sci-iwAnZ,

'enginccr, a subject of the Grand Duke of Baden, residing at Zahringcr Alice, Pfoi'zheini, German Empire, have invented new and useful Improvements in Machines for \Vii'iding Metallic Hose, of which the following the iii cq) of is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in machines for .ivinding metallic hose, such as that disclosed in my United States patent application, Serial No. 849,858. In this machine the finished hose is released and the machine reversed by means of gear which is thrown in and out b Y the slide which carries the winding mandre According to my present invention the apparatus for starting and reversing the motion and for returning'the slide is independent of the actual winding machine, so that several winding machines may be coupled with andoperated by a single such apparatus.

The principle of this apparatus is that a slide, reciprocating on vertical guide-rods by means of chainear and ratchet wheel, is slowly advancedrroin below up to its highest position. On arriving in this top position the slide strikes a-lever, which throws in a toothed clutch, whereby the backward motion of, the winding machine and, ereupon the quick descentof the slide are brought about. In its bottom position,- the slide again throws in the ratchet wheel and chain gear, which was disengaged when the slide was in its top position, and the upward travel and the forward motion of the winding machine commence anew. One .form of construction of such a windmg machine is illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

A B of Figs. 1, 1'. Fig. 4 to a larger scale showsthe winding mandrel with slide in iongiti idin-al section, and Fig. 5 is a section' bn Fi 4. Fig. 6 shows to an enlarged scale the divice for reeling the finish'ed hose,.and Fi EF of Fig. 6. reversing apparatus. Figs. 9 and 9 are sect ons on the line G.H of Fig. 10, and Figs. It) and 10" show a plan of the reversing gear. Figs. 11'15 show in part section details of the reversing apparatus.

7. a section on the line 1g. 8 is a side elcvation, and Fig. 8' a diagram of the belt gear of the The reversing apparatus (Figs. 8-15) consists'of a framing 1 (Figs. 8, 9 and 10) on the vertical guide rods 2 of which a slide 2 reciprocates, being actuated by the endless chain 5, assin I round the sprocket-wheels 3 and 4. 'he s aft 6 of the lower sprocketwheel 4. is rotated by a ratchet-wheel 7, the detent 8' of which 18 carried by a lever 9, which by means of the rod 10 is actuated by the shaft 56 continuously without reference to the motion (whether forward or ,backward) of the machine, in such manner, that the slide 2 is caused to ascend.

In its to position the etc 12 of theslide 2 strikes t 1e lever 13 and e ects revefsal 0f the machine b throwing in a toothed clutch to be hereina ter described in detail. For the return of the slide 2 into its bottom position, it is re ufii'te to disengage the driving gear of the l ower' sprocket 'wheel 4, over which the chain 5 connected with the slide 2 runs. For this urpose' the detent onlervcr 9 and the etent 8 .on the framing are; joined b rods 14 to a lever 15 fulcrumed at- 17 to a racket 16 (Fig. 15) of the framing. At the bottom of one of the guide rods 2' of the slide 2 is'a sliding collar 18 connectedwith an arni 25, (Fig. 15), mounted on the shaft 21 at an angle to the detent 22 in such manner that when the rising slide pushes the collar 23 upward, the detent 22 releases the pin 20, which owing to .the action of 'its s ring 26 forces the lever 15 up, whereby the etents 8, 8 leave the ratchet wheel 7, so that the sprocket wheel and the slide 2 which is connected with the chain 5 that runs over the sprocket-wheel, are released. The slide is now moved downward by a mechanism to be hereinafter described. At the bottom of its path it presses the collar 18 downward. This collar draws the in 20 down also, which will thus be locked y'the detent-22 again (Fig. 15) so that the lever 15 can descend and the detents 8, 8 again engage the ratchet-wheel 7. I

11 order to prevent the lever l5 violently snapping up under the influence of the spnng26, its free end is provided with a brake 27.

When the slide? at the to of its path 5 lifts the lever 13, a lever 28 rigi ly conn acted with the lever 13 will be turned, which lever 28 by means of the rod 29 will turn a lever 31 turning in standards 30, and two toothed segments 32, 33 (Fi 13) whereby a toothed 1o clutch (Figs. 13 an 14) will bethrown 1n.

- On the shaft 34 of this clutch there slides a toothed sleeve 35, oppo ite to which there turns loosel' on the shaf 34 the ear wheel ,36 furnishe with a clutch half. vT e toothed 16 segment 33 turns loosely on the enga ing parts of the sleeve 35 and wheel 36. he

-collar'of the toothed segment 33 is provided with the guide-pin 38 of the sleeve 35 (actuated by a spring 39) norms-ll 'keeps'the two arts of the clutch apart. n ascent of the ever13-the segments 32, 33 turnin the direction of the arrows (Fig, -13) the projecti on 37 releases the sleeve 3'5 and the clutchhalves engage, the shaft 34 bein thus r0- tated by thewheel 36. ;The -pulfe 42 by means of an o n ands crossed-bet 48, 49, respectively, rives twoypairs of fast: and loose pulleys 4'5, 46 mounted onfthe shaft 47.

(F gs-2) ves' the chain-gear 82 83,84? (Fig. 1-. which likewise'by draws the winding-slide asaeei The roller 66 rolls on a cam-ring 68 of the belt shifting drum 40. Owing to sliding of the toothed clutch-half 60 the latter comes into engagement with the toothed part of the gear wheel 69 mounted loosely on the shaft 58, whereb the said gear 69, which meshes constant y with the pinion 69, mounted fast on the shaft 56, rotates the shaft 58. In; this manner crank disk 70 (Figs-8 and.'1()) mounted on the shaft 58 of the ge'ar 69'is-turned, which drank-disk 70 is connected by a rod 71 with one end of a beam 73 which rocks on the shaft 72 the other endof the beam bein provided witha toothed segment 74. The latter, according to its motion up or down, with. the aid of a I gear 75 turns a shaft -76 (Fig. 8 either=to the eft or right. In this manner, by means of spur gearing 77', 78, the shaft 79 of the sprocket wheel 3 is turned. In thechain 5, which runs over the sprocket wheels 3 and 4, there'is a catch 4 whichengages with austop on the slide 2 and carries the latter down. In the lowest position of the slide the chain- 5 again travels idly upward owing to the action of the beam 73. 1 g The clutch 35, 36, is' disengaged'by thepin 38 projecting from the-part 35 having to ar on the inclined plane 37; this pressure '95 causes Etuation of the segment 33 and thus also of 'esegrnent 32',- until-a'stop' 32 pro jecting from theslatter segment strikes -a pin 30 protruding'fro'm, the standard 30 t (Fig. "9). The segment 33 is now set, and T00 the'pin' 38 can travel right up theinclined plane 37, an'dthus efiect disengagement of, the clutch',-.;"'D.uring the backward, motion of the toothed segments 32, 33, the lever .13, which isfco flnected the rods 28,, 2,9 with the leverfil", is returned into its initial position. 1 r The shaft 34, on' which the cam drum 40 ring68 is mounted, is continually j 110 so that when the beam'73has 'completedlits upfand downmotiom-the. cam rings68-will rumshave-turned 0 far have turned-so far'that the toothed clutch is a brought to rest. 1 1 e van ous winding machines (orily one.-

This man- ,drel'is'secured to a traveler 87 which works m-the hollow shaft 88 and is connected with Upthej slide 85- by a collar 89. The hollow shaft 88 isf'rotated by the shaft 47 with the 1 and of g'eai's90, 91, 92, 93, the shaft 94 and gears 95, 96 (Figs. '1'-.3). It turns the mandrelT86' withit'ywhich travels u the. hollow shaft 88, carryingthe' slide 85 with it. slide after completion of the hose will again moved downward b the return -imechanism, whereby the. man rel is drawn *Qutof the hose. 7 Y For winding up the finished piece of hose the device shown inFigs. 6 and 7is employed. The winding-upreel 97 is connected with a friction disk 98, actuated by a friction roller 99. The shaft of this fricton roller carries a ratchet-wheel 100, which is actuated; through the lever 102, which carries the detent 101, by the collar 103 of the stationary eccentric 104, when the frame 105, in which the reel 97 is mounted, turns. In this manner, on each rotation of the frame 105 the ratchet wheel 100 will advance. through the space of one tooth and the reel 97 will be rotated through the distance corres onding to the length of hose manufacture during this time. The rotation of the frame 105 on its shaft 106 is efiectedin a well known manner by the pair of ear wheels 107, 108 from the shaft 94. he manner of operation of the machine is as follows ;From the main driving shaft 47, with which all the winding machines, are coupled by suitable clutches, and ,which is driven from the belt pulley 43, the hollow shaft 88is rotated, as shown in the drawings -with the aid of the gears 90, 91, 92, 93, shaft 94 and gears 95 96. The shaft 88 rotates the mandrel 86 with it, on which the tape from a reel (not shown in the drawings) is wound to form a hose. The reel 97 onto which the finished hose is wound, is rotated by-Ineans of the shaft 94 and gear wheels 107, 108, together with the frame 105, carryin the reel 97, in the same direction as the hol ow shaft 88; in, order to prevent twisting of. the finished hose. During this forward motion of the machine, the' slide 2', secured to the 'chain 5, is moved slowly u ward by means of the shaft 43, pulley 51, elt 52, pulley 53, gears 54, 55, shaft'56, rod 10, and ratchet 55 ear mechanism 7, 8, 9. When theslide 2 as reached its highest position, as is the case at the com' letion of a hose-winding, at which time also t e hose winding-slide 85 will also have reached its highest position, it will strike the lever 13, which throws in the clutch 35 in the already described manner. The ratchet, gear 7, 8, 9 is now disengaged, so that the sprocket wheel 4 and the slide 2 connected with the chain 5, are released. On the clutch 35 b eing thrown in, the shaft 34, which .is designed to be connected with the combination, a slide; vertical rods shaft 48 bymeans of the as 50, chain not shown, is rotated. e camlsirums 40 and 49 mounted on these shafts efl'ect ship- I ping of the open and crossed driving belts 48,

49, whereby backward motion :ofthe winding machine is brought about. When'the cam drums have rotated so far thatthe backward motion of the winding machine is completed, the second clutch 60 is thrown in, in e already described manner which clutch causes the toothed segment 74 to execute a down and up motion. This segment turns, the shaft 7 6. Through the rotary motion. of the latter the chain 5', running over the s rocket wheels 3, 4 will be actuated with. t e aid of the spur gearing 77, 78 and the slide 2 will be drawn downward; and further-. more, with the aid of the spur gearing 80, 81, the chain. gear 82, 83, 84, will .be driven and thus the winding-slide drawn downward and with it the mandrel 86 -drawn out of the hose. During this time the clutches 35 and 60 will 'be automaticallydisengagedin the above described manner and the slide 2, now arrived below,-again throw in the ratchet 9c gear mechanism 7, 8, 9, so that the slide. 2 will a ain begin to ascend simultaneously. with t e forward motion of the winding machine.v
